"I'm confused," Rui admitted. "For one, why is the Martial Union even taking a formal diplomatic approach? We dominate the weaker and smaller nations around us much more forcefully because we can. Isn't it more efficient and effective to apply this same approach to the G'ak'arkan Tribe? Furthermore, why me? A Martial Artist with no competence in the field of diplomacy?"
"Your point is valid," She nodded. "We generally do not take such a soft approach when dealing with third parties that are vastly smaller and weaker than us. The two strongest Martial Artists of the G'ak'arkan Tribe are merely Martial Seniors. If we deploy a single Martial Master or even our best Martial Seniors, we could dominate the entire island... However, our intelligence department and foreign affairs department has long since decided against such an approach,"
Rui waited for her to complete her point.
